In fact, I trusted Zhenren Guan quite a bit. Just from Nangong's attitude towards him, it could explain a lot of things.
However, I still couldn't see through Nangong. At first, I thought that he was a descendant of the Wu Tribe and had a cultivation similar to that of Celestial Master Yang Shen. However, as time passed and I learned from various sources, I found that Nangong was becoming more and more mysterious.
What kind of treasure was the Xuanyuan Sword? It was the sword of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, ranked second among the Ten Great Ancient Divine Weapons. Nangong had given it to me so generously. Moreover, I also learned from Lu Zhenyang that when Lu Zhenyang had obtained Chiyou's inheritance in the Yin Xu, he wanted to take the Xuanyuan Sword, but Nangong had taken it away from him. In other words, Nangong's understanding of the Yin Xu was far greater than anyone else's. At one point, I even suspected that the 18 Celestial Masters in the Yin Xu were killed by Nangong. However, after he denied it himself, I no longer thought so.
I didn't know why, but Nangong had just said that he wasn't the one who killed them, but I still firmly believed it. It gave me a mysterious feeling, as if he didn't know how to lie, or that he disdained to lie. It gave me a feeling that I had no choice but to believe him.
Shaking my head, I sorted out my thoughts and stopped thinking about Nangong, the mysterious guy.
Because Yu Huan had absorbed the Real Dragon Qi of the Blessed Caves, I didn't dare to sleep. After chatting with the fatty for a while, I meditated and cultivated in the Taoist Palace. At the same time, I sent out a wisp of my soul sense to check the surroundings. I always maintained a certain degree of vigilance to prevent the matter from being exposed and those guys from attacking.
Fatty, on the other hand, was studying the method to repair Mount Wangwu's Heavenly Abode Formation. As he planned to leave this place in two days, Fatty was actively working overtime, which was a rare sight. He planned to figure out the method to repair the formation tonight.
Fortunately, it was a peaceful night. Apart from feeling that the Qilin seemed to have come to the Taoist Palace, no one else came near.
Early in the morning, the fatty took a pile of manuscripts and left in a hurry. He said that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to finish it in three days. He asked me to wait for him for a few more days.
I wasn't interested in formations, so I didn't go with them. I stayed in the Palace of Dao and slowly studied the sword nurturing technique that Daoist Huang Zhu had given me.
The fatty didn't come back until nightfall. However, Ah Fu came and told me that the fatty had encountered some problems while fixing the defensive formation. However, it wasn't a big problem. Moreover, the fatty was very excited. He said that he wouldn't sleep until he fixed it. That's why he wouldn't come back tonight.
I smiled but didn't say anything. I understood Fatty too well. Although he usually looked sloppy, when he got serious, he had a tenacity that ordinary people didn't have.
He was a once-in-a-century genius of the Zhanyan Sect, and formations were his forte. It was normal for him to be so serious.
In fact, the fat man did live up to his title of Tao Test Genius. At noon the next day, he came back with a proud face, accompanied by Officer Wang.
When the fatty had agreed to help him repair the formation, Officer Wang's attitude towards him had changed greatly. At that moment, it was completely different from before. He called Lin Fan 'Master Lin' from the bottom of his heart and his voice was full of emotion.
Looking at the situation, I knew that the restoration of the great formation had been completed. However, looking at the fatty's smug face, I couldn't help but mock him. "What's wrong? Can't stand working overtime anymore?
Don't worry. I can wait for a few more days. If you lose ten or twenty pounds of fat, I won't be able to explain it to Uncle Lin when I get back. "
The fatty glanced at me indifferently. His face didn't change, and he didn't say anything. When I wasn't paying attention to him, he kicked Officer Wang with his foot.
Officer Wang reacted instantly and said to me, "Sage, don't look down on Master Lin. Last night, Master Lin sat in the center of the formation for half a night. Before midnight, he had already figured out a way to fix the defensive formation. In just two days, the formation has been fixed. It's far beyond our expectations. Master Lin is really a formation expert."
Wang Can's attitude had changed a lot. In this way, the fat man's tail was even prouder. "Third Boy, did you hear that? I told you a long time ago that all the formations in the world lead to the same goal by different means. There is nothing more than the round sky and the square earth, and the flow of Yin and Yang. As long as you can break the formation eye, it will be a piece of cake to repair the formation. My master has long said that I am the inheritor of Zhan Tao …"
"Alright, alright, alright, stop. You're a genius, one in a million, a peerless genius. Alright, look at how cocky you are." I smiled as I interrupted the fatty's cliché that I had heard countless times already. "Alright, alright, alright, stop right there.
"All right. Fatty, you've been working hard all night. You must be tired. Go and have a rest. We'll go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
I could also see that although the fatty was still exuding a sense of excitement, it was not only the Taoist Qi in his body, but also his mental strength had been greatly depleted.
"All right, you guys talk. I'm going to take a bath. I'm a little tired. By the way, Officer Wang, I heard that you have a spiritual hot spring on this mountain. Let me have a try," the fat man said angrily.
Officer Wang agreed and asked his servant to take the fat man away.
After the fat man left, I told Officer Wang that we were going to leave.
When he heard that we were leaving, Officer Wang tried to persuade us to stay. He said that he would hold a farewell banquet for us. Of course, I refused him. Fatty and I didn't like crowds, and we didn't care about these common etiquettes.
However, in the end, Officer Wang asked me to inform him when I went to the Chiyou's Skull Tomb in Hebei Province to meet Lu Zhenyang.
To make him feel at ease, I agreed. However, I didn't want to take him with me. After all, it was a personal grudge between Lu Zhenyang and me. I didn't want to drag Officer Wang into this mess. Moreover, Officer Wang was now the Master of Mount Wangwu's Heavenly Grotto-Heaven, and he had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. Although Mount Wangwu's Heavenly Grotto-Heaven had won the Heavenly Grand Ritual, he still had a lot of things to deal with.
After bidding farewell to Officer Wang, I went to see Ah Mo. He wanted to go out with me, but I refused. I left him in the Heavenly Cave of Mount Wangwu and asked Officer Wang to take care of him. No matter what, this trip would be dangerous. If I brought Ah Mo along, not only would it be dangerous, but it would also be inconvenient.
The last one was Kirin. Since I had witnessed Lu Zhenyang's fear of him, I wanted to take him with me. However, no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he ignored me. I asked Tong Tong to ask him, but this time, Kirin didn't even give Tong Tong face. He still didn't want to go with me.
After a long stalemate, I had no choice but to give up the idea and let it stay there.
Anyway, he didn't consider me his master. We could only meet again in the future.
Since Officer Wang had a lot of unfinished business with the Heavenly Grand Ritual, he couldn't see us off personally. He asked Ah Fu to take us down the mountain until we reached the foot of Mount Wangwu's Heavenly Grotto-Heaven. Before leaving, he gave me an item. He told me that Officer Wang had asked him to give it to me.
I received it and took a look. It was a palm-sized bronze medallion. It appeared to be overflowing with an ancient charm. There were a few spells and restrictions that were unique to Mount Wangwu's Heavenly Abode engraved on it. There were two large characters on the back, 'Holy Protector'. Below these two large characters was a small character, 'Wang'.
I held the bronze token in my hand and played with it for a while. Apart from those complicated restrictions, I didn't find anything special about it. I tried to inject a strand of Dao Qi into it, but there was still no reaction.
After thinking for a while, I looked at the two characters: Sacred Guard. I guessed that it had something to do with the words' Innate Saint 'on my seal and the Nine Cauldrons Clan that Officer Wang had mentioned.
Thus, I injected a strand of Shaman Qi into the token. This time, the token instantly moved, and all the restrictions on it began to operate. The strand of Taoist Qi and Shaman Qi that I had injected into the token began to circulate in the restrictions. After about one cycle, the token suddenly lit up with a black and white light.
Then, I felt a wisp of spiritual sense enter my consciousness. Right after that, a vigorous and distant voice resounded in my mind.
